Trust 4|2
What is Trust 4|2?
At Sovereign Grace Church we exist to make disciples who delight in, declare, and display the gospel of Jesus Christ. And Easter is a perfect opportunity to declare the gospel by inviting friends and family who don’t know Jesus and/or are not part of a local church to join us at SGC.
As a church this Easter season, we’re challenging one another to step out with trust in the power of the gospel to save. This Sunday, we will ask every willing member and regular attendee of SGC to identify two unbelievers, to write them down on the Trust 4|2 pledge cards you’ll receive at church, and then to pray for and invite those folks to our Easter Celebration on March 31.
Jesus promised in Matthew 9:37, “The harvest is plentiful…” We trust that as we step out in faith and declare the gospel, Jesus will use us to gather in his harvest of unbelieving souls!
How to invite:
- Call them and invite them.
- Send them a personal Facebook message.
- Hand them an invite card (available Sunday mornings at the information table).
How to pray:
- Father, no one can come to you unless you draw them. I pray you draw these people to you this Easter (John 6:44).
- Jesus, you came to seek and save the lost. I pray you seek after and save these people (John 19:10).
- Jesus, save them by your grace through faith. Let them have no trust in their own works to save themselves, but your grace alone. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- Holy Spirit, convict them of their sin and of the coming judgment (John 16:8). Give them faith to repent and turn to God, so that their sins may be wiped away and that times of refreshing may come (Acts 3:19).
Sunday Preparation
In our worship, be it singing or giving or sitting under the preaching of the Word, the goal of the members of Sovereign Grace Church is to experience God as gain. And to gain as much as we can from the Sunday Celebration we need the Holy Spirit to prepare our hearts to receive God’s grace.
- Pray for Rick Gamache as he prepares to preach, Lord willing, from 2 Timothy 1:1-7.
- Pray for this Sunday’s worship leader, Tim Schmidt, as well as the worship team.
- Pray for all those serving in Discovery Kingdom and on the welcome team as well.
- Consider joining the Sunday morning pre-celebration prayer group at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. in the hall adjacent to Discovery Kingdom.

This past Sunday Greg Dirnberger recommended and referred to three blog sites that each bring a slightly different, yet consistent focus on what it means to “fight the fight of faith” or to “live by faith.”
- “Believe In Me” by Jon Bloom. Look for Jon’s blog posts on the desiringgod.org site.
- livingbyfaithblog.com by Steve Fuller. Steve posts regularly on the very practical and daily dimensions of entrusting oneself to God’s promises.
- thefightoffaith.wordpress.com by Ryan Chase, Caleb Dirnberger, and Ash Giri. These are young Christian men taking seriously the command to fight of the good fight of faith by assaulting various areas of unbelief through taking hold of promises God makes to his people in his Word.
